well-house
Cistern's protective structure
A well-house is a small structure built over a well to protect it from contamination and weather.
The enclosure typically shelters the well opening and any pumping mechanism, keeping out debris, animals, and rainwater while providing access for drawing water.
Common on farms and rural properties before municipal water systems.
